Rebirth: Japanese investor

   Chapter 261 Young People

   Kishimoto Masayoshi stepped on the grass on the golf course, and in addition to feeling soft and elastic under his feet, he also smelled the smell of green grass.

   He, Kitano Ryuichi, and Pachinko President are three of them walking in front. One or twenty meters away from behind them, others followed slowly.

   Meanwhile, Kazuya Takahashi will not be idle either. Of course he knew that golfing was just a pretense, and that the most important thing was to build relationships.

   He and Kitano Ryuichi's secretary, and the confidant of Pachinko's president all exchanged their business cards. As they walked forward, they chatted with each other.

   "Does Kishimoto-kun have a girlfriend?" Kitano Ryuichi asked casually, seemingly understatement.

   "No." Masayoshi Kishimoto answered without hesitation. It's not that he didn't know, if he really answered the word "yes" truthfully, then he would create a lack of sincerity behind him.

  If the other party wants to introduce someone's daughter or his own daughter to him, he also has to deal with it. To say that the public and private are clear is just talk.

  The interpersonal culture of East Asia for thousands of years has always been inseparable from women, blood, classmates, etc. The Japanese value the direct line first, and the collateral line second.

   "Young people should not only be busy with their careers. Solving personal problems belongs to sharing the country's worries. Japan's aging and declining birthrate are gradually emerging.

   Twenty years later, these seemingly insignificant little problems can become big problems. The population of Japan will continue to decrease year by year. "Takano Kitano said calmly.

   "This is indeed a problem. The most important factor for young people not to marry, not have children, and not fall in love, in my opinion, should not be unilaterally summarized as they have no sense of responsibility.

   One is the most direct reason for lack of money and poverty. For ordinary young people in their 20s and 30s, their monthly salary income is basically nothing except for their own expenses.

   Even if there is a little money left, I want to devote myself to my hobbies. Second, for many young people to fall in love, this kind of thing feels very troublesome. I'm sure your older generation is having a hard time understanding this.

  Three, young people like our generation experienced first-hand the bursting of Japan's initial economic bubble in the 1990s, the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995, and the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, resulting in a lot of changes in thinking.

  Japanese women are becoming more and more realistic, they know more and more what they want and what kind of men they are looking for. According to common sense, Japan is a country with more women than men, so there should be no problem that many men can't find wives.

  However, this problem really arises. Japanese women generally look upward, which creates an unbalanced match between men and women.

   They all want to find high-quality men in the top 10%-20% as boyfriends or husbands. However, high-quality men are, after all, very few.

   This structural imbalance is man-made, not a natural choice. Men in the upper middle class have too many women around them, while men in the lower middle class have too few women around them.

  Therefore, in order to alleviate this increasingly prominent contradiction in Japan, the government introduced and aimed at the introduction of brides in overseas countries such as the Philippines, Vietnam, China, and South Korea.

   Of course, this cannot be unilaterally blamed on Japanese women, after all, it is forced by reality. In terms of income, they are far lower than men, only half or even one third.

   In the thinking of many of them, they do not want to work. After marriage, they want to be a full-time housewife and raise children.

   For this reason, they are determined to find a man with financial strength, not only can they live more easily and decently, but also can reduce the divorce rate in marriage. Most people get divorced because of money.

   This part of women has voluntarily withdrawn from the labor market, which has caused the shortage of labor force in Japan, and has to recruit trainees from many developing countries abroad to make up for it.

   Japanese men feel that Japanese women are becoming more and more materialistic and love money more and more, which further dampens the enthusiasm of many of them to take the initiative. Rather than fail, it is better to live in your own little world.

  The four fundamental reasons are the rigidity of social class promotion. Young people often lose sight of where there is hope, and then lose their great motivation for positive improvement.

  The population of Japan needs to be maintained at around 100 million in order to maintain the competitiveness of the country. " Kishimoto said eloquently.

   "So young people of your generation think so." Ryuichi Kitano and President Pachinko made eye contact with each other, nodding their heads in unison.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi would never take the initiative to play golf with the two old men if it were not for the Roppongi new town renovation project.

   Their generation is still living in the golden thirty years of Japan's rapid economic development. At that time, the Japanese, whether young or middle-aged, were like chicken blood.

   They are very active in their work. It is common for them to work overtime all night. When it comes to overwork, it does not exist at all. Instead, they are regarded as weak, and they call themselves the most violent people in the company.

Therefore, Japan was able to quickly recover from the ruins after the war. It was not the unidirectional Korean War, the Vietnam War and other external favorable factors that brought opportunities to Japan, but the most important thing was that the people generally had that A positive fighting spirit and drive.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto knew that it was precisely because of the existence of something that Japan had a population of 100 million in 1970, and that was why the Japanese government had the confidence to propose a plan for the 100 million middle class.

   He naturally thought of the positive fighting spirit and drive of the Chinese people, which mainly appeared in the southern coastal areas in the 1980s and 1990s in the early days of reform and opening up.

   This is the most representative of Wenzhou people. At that time, there was a very popular saying that the government cannot be blamed for suffering, and the society cannot be blamed for a backlash.

  The eight-hour workday, which is formulated for those who are not motivated. It was also these people who suffered unprecedented pain in 1998 and were laid off.

  Motivated people, they work more than ten hours a day and do not rest on weekends. Even three or five hours of sleep a day is enough.

   Overwork, at this time in mainland China, still does not exist at all. They wish there were forty-eight hours in a day.

   That kind of vigor is the summary that Kishimoto Masayoshi got from lecturers, documents, documentaries, etc., when he was a university student in the previous life.
